A solution containing one mole per litre of each \(Cu(NO_3)_2; AgNO_3; Hg_2(NO_3)_2\) is being
electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The values of standard electrode potentials in volts
(reduction potentials) are: 
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Ag} / \mathrm{Ag}^{+}=+0.80,2 \mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{Hg}_2^{++}=+0.79 \\ & \mathrm{Cu} / \mathrm{Cu}^{++}=+0.34, \mathrm{Mg} / \mathrm{Mg}^{++}=-2.37 \end{aligned}\)
With increasing voltage, the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be :
1. Ag, Hg, Cu, Mg
2. Mg, Cu, Hg, Ag
3. Ag, Hg, Cu
4. Cu, Hg, Ag
